D90 flash settings

[akagi07]

I'm a noob :bsmilie:
so far been taking shots but in particularly, i have not had a flash unit yet so just use the built in flash.

i read the manual and cant find any on the things i wanted.
basically 2 things
1) when holding down e release with flash pop up, there is this indicator, very bright. is there any way i adjust it cos of this issue which is #2

2) the flash will take few secs before it shoots off. the pre-flash indicator lit up and will make my object (human) blind.. and turned away before the light shoots

i try to play around with the speed but do not seems to have any effect

can someone enlighten me?

Hi noob :bsmilie:,

Manual, Flash Mode, pg 71-72 should answer you

Think you set Red-Eye reduction on, usually most ppl leave it off :think:


Cheers ,
